Lunarium Build Planner

Ave’s power in Lunarium comes from three overlapping systems: the skill tree, Embroidery charms, and Cloak equipment presets. Cloaks hold Embroidery slots and act as saveable loadouts you swap at the Temple — change your Cloak preset and you change both appearance and passive combat bonuses.

This build planner page is a static reference aligned with the interactive tool UI (tools.buildPlanner.title, tools.buildPlanner.cloakLabel, tools.buildPlanner.slotLabel, tools.buildPlanner.noteLabel). Use the tables below to sketch builds before spending Boar-grass, ore, and other crafting materials.

Pre-launch data reflects Steam store descriptions, PAX East previews, and demo playtests. Slot counts and charm names will expand after July 29, 2026 — check patch notes for balance changes.

How Cloak presets work

Each Cloak preset is a named loadout combining:

1. One Cloak piece (visual + passive cloak effect)
2. Multiple Embroidery slots filled with charms
3. Optional notes on skill tree synergies

Swap presets at the Temple between exploration and boss attempts. Late-game players maintain separate presets for trash clearing, elite packs, and boss rushes.

Cloak preset reference table

Cloak Preset	Embroidery Slots	Cloak Passive	Best For
Dawnweave Cloak	3	Balanced attack and poise	General exploration, first playthrough
Starfarer’s Mantle	4	Increased Resonance Point gain	Boss fights, Lune synergy builds
Ironthread Cloak	3	Poise bonus after successful parry	Parry-focused, aggressive melee
Voidshroud	2	Extended dodge invulnerability frames	Learning patterns, safe progression
Temple Linen	3	Faster Temple rest recovery	Long expeditions between saves

Cloaks are crafted and enhanced at Temple facilities using materials from zones like the Forgotten Forest and Ruined Castle. See the world map guide for farming routes.

Embroidery slot reference

Embroideries function like equippable charms — passive bonuses slotted into your active Cloak. Slots unlock as you progress:

Slot	Typical Unlock	UI Label	Notes
Slot 1	Prologue / demo start	tools.buildPlanner.slotLabel 1	Always available; pick a core identity charm
Slot 2	Early Temple access	tools.buildPlanner.slotLabel 2	First meaningful build choice
Slot 3	Forgotten Forest mid-progress	tools.buildPlanner.slotLabel 3	Enables hybrid offence/defence setups
Slot 4	Ruined Castle / late Act 1	tools.buildPlanner.slotLabel 4	Unlocked on Starfarer’s Mantle and similar cloaks

Empty slots grant no bonus — always fill available slots before leaving the Temple.

Embroidery charm reference

Preview and demo content confirm Embroideries as the primary passive customise layer. Representative charms for planning:

Embroidery	Effect (Preview)	Synergy	Suggested Slot
Thread of Courage	Attack power after parry	Ironthread Cloak, parry skills	Slot 1–2
Lune’s Whisper	Faster Resonance Point generation	Starfarer’s Mantle	Slot 2–3
Starlight Patch	Bonus healing at Temple rest	Long expeditions	Slot 3
Golem Stitch	Increased poise vs staggers	Boss presets	Slot 2
Moonlit Edge	Charged attack damage	Focus-heavy skill tree	Slot 3–4
Void Hem	Damage reduction at low HP	Voidshroud learning builds	Slot 1
Silver Recall	Material drop bonus	Farming presets (non-boss)	Slot 4

Cross-reference rankings on the Embroidery tier list after launch community testing.

Sample day-one presets

Use tools.buildPlanner.noteLabel fields in the interactive UI to store notes like these:

Parry Aggressor (tools.buildPlanner.cloakLabel: Ironthread Cloak)

Slot	Embroidery	Note
1	Thread of Courage	Core damage after parry
2	Golem Stitch	Stay upright during boss combos
3	Moonlit Edge	Burst after stagger

Pair with parry skills from the skill tree. Read combat parry and dodge for timing.

Resonance Boss (tools.buildPlanner.cloakLabel: Starfarer’s Mantle)

Slot	Embroidery	Note
1	Lune’s Whisper	Stack RP before phase transitions
2	Thread of Courage	Maintain pressure between Resonance spends
3	Starlight Patch	Recover between attempts
4	Golem Stitch	Survive execution setup windows

Follow the Resonance reference for spend timing.

Safe Explorer (tools.buildPlanner.cloakLabel: Voidshroud)

Slot	Embroidery	Note
1	Void Hem	Forgive mistakes while learning
2	Silver Recall	Farm materials for Cloak upgrades

Swap to Ironthread or Starfarer’s Mantle before story bosses.

Build planner workflow

1. Pick a Cloak preset matching your skill comfort (parry vs dodge vs Resonance).
2. Assign Embroidery slots from unlocked charms — prioritise slot 1 identity first.
3. Add notes for skill tree nodes that amplify your charms.
4. Test in demo or early zones before investing rare upgrade materials.
5. Rebuild after patches using patch notes.
